As a three-time Emmy Award winner and two-time Golden Globe nominee, Jeremy Piven has proven himself as an accomplished actor in film and television. However, his dedication to the craft goes far beyond the screen. He is a committed philanthropist who supports various social and environmental causes through his activism and celebrity status.
In the wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandal in 2017, many women felt emboldened to speak out about their experiences with sexual misconduct in Hollywood. Piven, who was named in multiple allegations, took a step back from acting and has yet to return to the spotlight. He has a few projects on the horizon, including starring as Joel Lapchick, the man responsible for helping Nat “Sweetwater” Clifton break the color barrier in the NBA in 1950, in the new movie Sweetwater. The film hits Hulu on September 1st.
